RE: It finally happened
Waahhhhoooooo!! Just got the head back from the shop, I must say this is the best experience I have ever had with a shop..although its only the second time ive had other ppl work on my car. Anyways I got the old valve removed, the valve seat reground, and new valve, valve guide, and valve seal installed, all for $40. I get the head back and the whole thing has been cleaned (acid cleaned or something its shiny) the gasket surfaces have all been machined and cleaned up this things looks brand new I can't believe they did all this for $40. The old man working there was really cool too. It bring me great pain to pay other people to work on my car, but this time it wasnt bad at all...Big thumbs up to Stickney's auto garage, although they prolly have never even heard of the internet[8D]
Anyways I am reassembling as we speak and hopefuly I can get this back together today. Its pouring out but we have an easy up tent

Thats a pretty good price and glad to hear your happy. those guys that run most of those machine shops didn't get there by not knowing what there doing. Glad to hear you found a good one.
